Tibor R. Machan

Revisiting Marxism

A Bourgeois Reassessment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

For some time there has been no direct critique of Marx's ideas from those who value the position he most harshly attacked, bourgeois capitalism. This work developed contrasts Marx's historicist collectivism with a neo-Aristotelian individualism as presented by, among others, David L. Norton and Ayn Rand. It criticizes Marxism based on this position, the one he most directly disparaged.
